Mods I apologize if this is too spammy. I couldn’t find any protest this weekend and that didn't sit well with me so I'm organizing my own. 

Democracy is in danger and it we need to be in the streets and connected to defend it.

Come out to piedmont park for a few hours connect and strategize.

This is a non partisan event as long as you believe in individual freedom and democratic values all are welcome.

Bring a chair for your comfort.

Sorry for the late notice. Democracy is in danger and I think Atlanta should be a leadership city. Come out, connect, strategize.

Now that it seems to be done snowing, how is it looking from your neck of the woods?

I got 3.5-4” at my house. I live near Collier Road and it got completely jammed up with stuck or abandoned cars around 7am. I’m guessing it was folks trying to get to the hospital. It seems like the roads have opened back up to limited traffic for now. If it gets down in the 20’s tonight there is going to be a lot of ice out there.

I know I’ll be watching NYC intently to see how their new congestion pricing works out. For me, in Atlanta, traffic congestion from commuters is probably one of the biggest impacts to my quality of life. I think some version of congestion pricing could work well for Atlanta. We’ve put our thumb on the scale for the automobile for too long. It didn’t work. A congestion charge could help raise funds to remedy the situation while also encouraging drivers to seek/demand alternate forms of transit.

Ignoring the mechanics of how it would be implemented, would you support congestion pricing Atlanta’s core business districts?
